Chapter 102 The Most Famous Banquet in the County(1/2)
On this hot day, Si Chen got up as soon as it started to get dark.
Today is the full moon party for twins. As the only man in the family, he has to arrange everything properly.
Si Yuzhu was a teacher, so he had nothing to do after his summer vacation, so he brought his daughter Tang Linlang to help early.
Master Tang led the team and was still running around for the sake of those students who were admitted to universities in other provinces but were faked.
Sili Ge is a loose person who has achieved financial freedom within Yuanmeng County. If she hadn't been in the early stages of pregnancy, she would have come to help.
The other aunts and uncles in the county are all at work and can only find time to have a meal at noon.
Si Jianhua and several close men from the family came together early to help.
This is how a banquet is held in the village. The men of the family are responsible for borrowing tables, benches, pots, pans, chopsticks, spoons, etc.
This is physical work.
The female dependents are responsible for preparing meals before meals.
Make dumplings, steam buns, roll noodles, etc.
After all, some relatives live far away and come a day or two in advance. You have to let them eat well, right?
The relatives of the Sichen family, except for the eldest aunt who lives far away in Longcheng and the eighth aunt who lives in Kyoto, are all very close to each other and can come whenever they want.
Therefore, Si Chen was given enough preparation time.
Near noon, everything was ready.
The first one who couldn't help but rush to her mother's house was Sili Ge.
Song Tianfu knew her so well that he took a leave of absence, drove the car himself, and brought her here.
Si Chen was freshly dressed, with a red silk flower on his chest and a cigarette in his hand, standing at the door to smoke it.
"Hey! The seventh uncle is here, rare guest, rare guest, come in quickly." With that, he handed Song Tianfu a cigarette.
"Tsk!" Song Tianfu glanced sideways at Si Chen.
"Hahaha! Forgot, you quit smoking!" Si Chen laughed.
Song Tianfu knew that he was making fun of him, so he pointed at Si Chen in confusion.
Sili Ge completely ignored the two men teasing each other and peered inside:
Huh? Where is the old mother?
I'm late today, but everything happens for a reason, right?
Besides, today is a big day, and my old mother’s shoe soles probably won’t entertain me!
"Qi Gu, come in. Grandma is busy and can't take care of whipping you."
"Oh!" Sili Ge breathed a long sigh of relief.
After taking just two steps, he suddenly realized something. He turned around and cursed at Si Chen:
"Little brat, what did you say just now? Tell me again if you have the guts!"
Song Tianfu was horrified and quickly hugged Sili Ge and comforted him:
"Li Ge, forget it, pay attention to your emotions, don't get excited!"
As he said that, he covered Sili Ge's flat belly with one hand.
Sili Ge was so angry that he slapped his fat bear paw away and said angrily:
"He was trying to squeeze me, didn't you hear?"
"We are here to drink full moon wine today. What are you talking about when you are so angry?"
"Let's go, let's go in, let others see it, why don't we laugh at you?"
At this time, Mrs. Si, wearing a brand new burgundy partial-breasted top and navy blue trousers, came out of the room.
"Li Ge, Mom! Mom is over there, let's go!" Song Tianfu said, coaxing Sili Ge over.
I thought to myself that the mood of pregnant women is really not ordinary irritable.
Si Chen bared his teeth and smiled evilly from behind.
When Mrs. Si saw Si Lige, she was about to say, "Your fourth sister is already here, why are you here?"
After taking a quick look, I noticed something strange:
Hiss~ This girl, why is she a little shorter today?
Oh, I'm not wearing high heels.
Looking a little bad?
Oh, I didn’t apply eyebrows, powder, or lipstick on my face.
The clothes are no longer tied around the waist and are still loose.
After looking up and down, Mrs. Si made a judgment within three seconds:
pregnant!
In early pregnancy, it is not advisable to make public.
"Come in!" Mrs. Si changed her face instantly, smiled and opened the door curtain for her daughter, as if she were a guest, and said:
"There's nothing to do. You all are welcome to get on the kang!"
Sili Ge:! Mom! When did you become a mother?!
Song Tianfu smiled and hugged his wife, entered the door, and said politely:
"Li Ge, our mother asked you to go to the kang to rest. If there is anything you need to do, I'll do it!"
…
At the gate, the Zhao brothers were making a big fuss and came driving a tractor.
Zhao Yan, Zhao Yi, Zhao Zheng, their younger sister Zhao Ting, and four-year-old Zhao Xiaoming.
Zhao Cheng and Zhao Xun came with their sons respectively, and their younger brother Zhao Ping.
The gate suddenly became very lively, with a group of gentlemen talking loudly.
The children were running around laughing and laughing, curious about everything.
People in Sichen are in high spirits and happy when happy events happen!
Not long after, several aunts and uncles came one after another.
Si Peng is the driver of Sixth Uncle Song Ci. Si Xueqin's family is here, so Si Peng naturally comes back.
Also coming with me was Song Gang.
Si Chen did not inform him. As soon as Song entered the door, he took the lead and complained:
"Si Chen, you are not loyal enough! How can you treat me as an outsider in such a big happy event?"
"Oh, brother Gangzi, I'm sorry. It's my first time to handle a big thing. I'm inexperienced and not thorough enough. Please bear with me, brother. Another day! I'll treat you alone! Let's drink enough!"
"Haha, you kid, that's pretty much it!"
Song Gang also regained some respect, so that he could not be demoted even though he took the initiative to come to the house.
Wu Gu came here on her bicycle with her son Mao Yuanchao.
The fifth uncle, Mao Yiming, came in the same car as Li Fumin.
As soon as Si Chen saw the two of them, he instantly thought of the quintessence of Chinese culture:
Damn it!
I didn’t send an invitation to Li Fumin!
Why did he come uninvited?
How should I place such a big Buddha?
I'll make a big dent!
Even though the north wind was howling in his heart, Si Chen still had to face it with a smile and smoke:
"It's a rare visitor! Uncle Li, welcome!"
Li Fumin took the cigarette with a smile and looked back at Mao Yiming.
The latter understood it and said seriously:
"Si Chen, your Uncle Li and I happen to be inspecting the village next door. It's noon, so I'll take your Uncle Li over for a quick lunch."
exactly?
Just right?
By the way?
potluck?
